On Sunday morning last, as the people were
going to Silver Run Church. a horse. driven
by young man by the name of Weimert,
became unmanageable, upset the buggy and
threw young Weimert out, breaking or Sc
verely spraining his arm. The horse then
ran some distance at frightful speed, with
the buggy, passing some. half dozen other
buggies that were on the pike, but finally ran
into Mr.. Edward Mikeseli's buggy with such
force AS to upset it. Mr.. and Mrs. Mikesell
were dragged some distance before they could
extricate themselves from the vehicle. Mr.
Mikesell escaped unhurt, but Mrs. Mikesen
was severely bruised and scratched-at first
it was thought seriously, but DR.. j. J. Stew
art, who is attending her, reports her to be
rapidly improving and not seriously injured.
Mr.. Mikesellis buggy was badly broken, but
young Weimert's was not much injured.
Messrs. Daniel Frock and Henry E. Nor
ris, of this place, have new blinds put on their
dwellings and new coat of paint, which
greatly improves their appearance. Mr.. Ed
ward Croft will also put blinds on his dwell
ing in few days. Mr.. John Bemiller is
painting his house. There are others whose
houses are sadly in need of repair and paint,
whom, we think, should profit by the exam
pie of their neighbors.

While on a business tour through the greater
part of our Myers district, we find the
wheat crop on upland fair, while on lowland
it is mostly winter killed. In some instances
it was seeded to oats or corn; yet we find
many good fields of grain which, should the
season prove favorable henceforth, will yield
from 25 to 80 bushels per acre. This year,
at least, the man with the hill farm can look
down upon his neighbor on the plain with
smile of satisfaction and congratulate himself
that he is the possessor of hills. The aver
age yield of this section may be about two
thirds of last years yield. We have the
promise Of an abundant grass crop, but it now
needs rain. Corn is coming up well.
Messrs. VIM. G. Byers and Ephraim Ying-
ling, carpenters of this place, have found en-
